Havent kept up with every single thing, but i think there are some improvised thing in there (some mounting things and perhaps some light-weight stuff) which is different from the factory item.
Reading wikipedia the Scud engine also has a higher compression ratio, not sure if OP went that far..
Still, an impressive build all the way, i can only imagine it feels sharper and faster then the standard spider.
The engine project will come under phase 2. There's a high level spec a page or two back.Reading wikipedia the Scud engine also has a higher compression ratio, not sure if OP went that far..

I've been following this since the start and it's an amazing car. I spotted the car yesterday at Silverstone Classic in the Ferrari section. I'm really impressed by the quality of the work you've done and it really shows in the flesh. The rear grill around the exhaust will finish the back end when you get it and I'm very impressed by your other halves work on the seat stitching you wouldn't know it wasn't red from the factory.

No; cars are a hobby Some pics from the Silverstone Classic. Such a good weekend! The event was incredibly well run and all the staff were polite. We met some really nice people/owners and saw an incredible array of cars. The historic F1 was amazing to watch.
With regards plate blanking I will always do this out of courtesy if the owner is known, but as it is these cars are pretty much anonymous hence I haven't done it. If you are an owner and want your plate blanking please let me know.
